10 months agoThe native file manager kinda sucks. It’s clunky and doesn’t have many features. On the other hand, FX on Android is super fast and feature rich. So much better than the stock Android file manager.

If the EU does that and Apple follows through in America (doubtful), Apple will most likely have my money. I’d love to have the good parts of iPhones but I can’t stand how locked down it currently is.
Never heard of the sidestore, but it seems so cool! This gets me closer to switching to iPhones than any of Apple’s events do. If the sidestore has a real file manager and local music player, and possibly even Firefox+uBlock origin, I would seriously consider switching to iPhone.
Are you using the Windows 10 file manager? That one is so much faster than the new Windows 11 one.
As long as the program is not bloated, JavaScript can be fast. Unfortunately that’s not the case with most programs.
Can you recommend some third party windows file managers?

Stock file manager has an okay UI (tabs are super nice) but is kinda slow, especially on battery.

I tried explorer++ but its UI is clunky and it’s only slightly faster than the stock file manager.

You can use C++ for web technology instead of JavaScript? I’m taking a class in C++ right now so I’d be happy to swap janky JavaScript for pedantic but speedy C++ in new projects.
This might be a hot take but I’ve noticed some complicated electron apps are faster than some simple native apps. The striking example to me is how Vs code runs better and has a lower startup time than the stock Windows 11 File manager.
A well written electron app is better than a poorly written native app sometimes.
Because there actually are some desirable features only on iPhones. iMessage is the big one, but also many app developers–and college students around me!!!–treat Android users as 2nd class citizens; also I want to degoogle myself a bit. I’m also afraid of the direction Android is going in right now.
However, iPhones currently have so many undesirable “features” that I’ll never switch at the moment. The big ones are no sideloading, crappy file manager, no Firefox+uBlock origin, and no local music player. And the 2000% storage markups on iPhones are atrocious.
